History & Origin

Ronak is Persian rownaq, 'brightness, splendour, lustre' — the shine or liveliness of a place. Borrowed into Hindi, Urdu and Gujarati, it is used mainly as a boys' name in India, while Ronak or Roonak also appears for girls in Iranian and Kurdish naming. Listed here for a girl, it runs against the dominant Indian lean, and we flag that plainly rather than smooth it over.

For girls it is very rare in the U.S., against far heavier boys' use. Rare, luminous in sense, and boy-leaning.

Did you know? Ronak means 'brightness, splendour, liveliness' — the word Persian and Urdu speakers use for the glow that fills a room at a celebration. It is predominantly a boys' name in India, which we note plainly (said 'ROH-nuk').
